I was visiting Vietnam and went to a foreign modern hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. It was 50 bucks for comprehensive health check with cray mri cat scan, blood work, etc. and the doctors are educated in France or the UK.
I cried when she was asking if they still remember her, they all truly love her and care so much they remember even the day she left and what they were doing.
I showed this to my parents. they cried so much, they left vietnam in the 80s and during that time keeping contact was too difficult. When I got older, I was able to find some family online with msn messenger. I cried so hard during that first video call. I saw so many family that recognized me since I left when i was only 1 or 2.
the fact shes more worried they all forgot her shows how much time she spent worried shed never see any of them again. This is one of the most heartwarming things ive seen in years thank you for what you do sir!
I’m Not religious but that elderly woman you found in the beginning of the video was truly placed in your path to find. Just finished the second video and it was amazing. Bless the woman and her regained family
The videos Kyle makes shows such a unique beauty of Vietnamese people. The fact that neighborhoods and villages have people who live there forever and really knew their neighbors really help in uniting family and friends together. Thanks Kyle 😊
I guess this is commonly shared among Southeast Asians having a tight community and family bond. This is more prominent, particularly in rural settings.
@@EDHER-x7q that varies from family to family. Some people might want to see people they haven’t interacted with for a long time. If a preexisting bond still exists then it doesn’t matter how long. If both relatives live and care about each other then let them reunite.
As an American the most amazing thing about this video is the walk in two hour emergency room visit that includes wait , consultation , and x ray. That's at least 6-8 hours here in the good old USA.
Hospital wait times are way too ridiculous... There was a time I broke my leg and had to wait two hours before I was brought back to a room and given pain meds... Shit sucked
Don't worry, the politicians say if we had globalized healthcare the time would DOUBLE! (Being sarcastic) It's not even about globalized healthcare, it's about have actually GOOD and affordable healthcare. We have neither.
@@moze_- Your politicians are actually right. Here in Brazil the healthcare is globalized and free, but the wait times are huge, to the point of waiting months just to do an exam.
@@RevoltAgainstModernWorld It's the same anyways here too lol. Took 7 dentists to find an appointment not 5 months out, and a family doctor for regular exams? At least 2-3 months between appointments. Edit; Oh, and now I don't have a job, so I won't seeing anyone anyone for anything at all. Or take 25-50 thousand dollar bill.
You do such great work reuniting Vietnamese families and promoting Vietnam. I enjoyed your videos since Day 1. I hope you catch a break and someone realizes the asset you would be to their business. Don't lose faith, something will happen soon, you deserve it.
Kyle: I really felt a twang of regret that I lost in a fire the only picture/address of a lady who worked on Bien Hoa Air Base 1968-1969. Her name was Huong and was from Cho Lon outside Saigon, I lost contact when I was discharged from the Army and my buddy who was still in VietNam lost my Mothers address. I am alive today because she looked after me and helped me through some rough times in Bien Hoa. I never forgot her and think of her almost daily. Your work is the Lord's work and keep doing it; your reward is the faces and happiness I saw in this video. I wish I could have been more helpful to her and possibly made a difference in her life. Looking forward to the reunion of subject family and your future videos. Stay safe.
these reunion videos are always so sad but also happy. what i find fascinating is that the older generation has told the younger generation so much about the family members and family tree that even if they are so young that they never met, they still know who this person is. as far as vietnamese houses i've seen in rural areas go, i have to agree, their family seems to be doing much better now
Just wow, the driver sure deserves a extra bonus for this one. He pretty much delivered you to the front door of the right family! For new content, it comes when it comes, no need to rush. Rather spend more time and making sure it all looks great then have a rushed end product. Take care brother.
@@kyleledotnetcan you at least tell us how old boy is doing with his new life as of 3/7/24? he has deleted all of his youtube video on his channel and just posted one video with an AI generated young looking selfie. is he doing ok?
This video makes me miss vietnam so much, I went back last year after over 18 years since my first trip there. Family is such an important thing in Vietnamese culture. Good on you for helping someone with theirs.
Old people are a treasure. They're the bridge connecting us with the past when information's just been lost. I have an 85 y.o. grandma in my block she's always lived here and knows EVERYTHING and everyone. She's busy recording the information with the architecture guys at a architectural and urban history center.
My brother in law is a Filipino and was in Vietnam during the war. He is in United State airforce. He was assigned to a C-130 Hercules plane that evacuate the Vietnamese babies. Also, most Vietnamese boat people ended up in the Philippines before transfering to the United States. There are so many Vietnamese in the Philippines after the war. The Philippines helps the boat people settle in Palawan and Bataan, then the United States took them all in the Mainland U.S.
I'm a Vietnamese-American myself living abroad right now and I enjoy your videos immensely. I truly hope you're able to find gigs that will fund your passion. I look forward to Cô Nga's family reunion video.
The full documentary is still coming!! I'm so sorry I haven't finished editing it yet, I have been extremely busy filming a few reunion videos coming up! It'll be up soon.. A week or two... I hope..
born in 1988 in Norway, raised here by Vietnamese parents who came here as boat refugees. I have never been to Vietnam =( breaks my heart. I am a proud Vietnamese no matter what ppl say, Vietnamese blood and culture run through my veins and soul
@NguyenAndHoel I myself was born in Rach Gia but know nothing about the place including the relatives I have in and around the town since I moved to live in Australia at the age of 5. In December 2023 was my first time visiting Vietnam and I regret not coming back to visit alot earlier
The way the relatives spoke to each other after not meeting for decades was almost the same when I went to VN and my sisters who has been back for 20 years talked to our relatives. crazy stuff
Thank you everyone for watching this video! I will release the full documentary as soon as I can. I am sorry I didn't finish it before my Australia trip, but I hope to finish it soon. Please subscribe with notifications ON to be updated when I release it. The wait will be worth it! and please follow me on IG at KyleLeDotNet to see my Australia experiences - Kyle
This is your career path brother it’s what you’re good at. Keep reuniting these families you have a limited time as they are getting old. Great content!
I loved this video! I was a baby when I left vietnam in 1979 and this year.. in April 2024, I finally went back to visit Vietnam. 45 years has passed!. I went to Da Nang and Saigon. What a wonderful experience. Vietnam is such a wonderful country and everyone needs to see it.
We all love you Kyle. Adulting is hard but what you’ve accomplished and how you’ve helped others is such a reward within itself. I just finished the reunion video and came back to watch this one as well. I’ve been following your work for years and your dedication to your culture and people is so heartwarming. You’ve touched so many and connected families all around the world. It does not go unnoticed. Keep persevering you’re on the right path!! Hugs to you.
Chào Kyle. Rất mừng bạn đã trở lại, người xem rất nhớ bạn. Dù mình tiếng Anh kém, chỉ có thể hiểu 50% khi bạn nói tiếng Anh, nhưng những gì bạn làm mình đều thấy rất đáng quý. Chúc Kyle luôn khoẻ mạnh để giúp đỡ được nhiều gia đình đoàn tụ. Love you from Sơn La.
Wishing you all the best from Canada! Your videos hit hard for me as a viewer, but the impact you make on the families you help with live with you till you draw your last breath... through the lows just know you have made lasting impacts and NOTHING can take that away from you.
Everyone is talking about the timing with the grandma, but the timing with the nephew was impeccable. He was about to leave when they showed up but decided to stay home for the day when the news broke.
This was a really, really great watch. I’m currently living in da nang and it’s honestly such a beautiful community of people. Grateful this came up on my feed! good luck with all your future projects
I have just watched your beautiful video .i am a 70 year old English woman who just happened upon your film. You are a lovely young man at a crossroads in his life and I hope you can find the right road to take in your life. I am sure fate will guide you and I wish you every success for the future .x
I really liked this video already. I just happened to watch your video by youtube algorithm. I hope I can reunite my father with his family like this as it’s been 24 years since he was last back there. Thanks for sharing this video! It was happy for me to see it.
I'm glad people like you exist. My grandma tried her whole life to find her uncle who moved to the US. She died 15 years ago at age 90 still talking about how sad she was that she never found him, so I can kinda understand the desperation of people who are looking for their family. Only now I would have the technology, the knowledge and the money to be able to find her uncle but he was much older than her so he most likely died a long time ago and I kinda doubt that his kids (who should now be over 80 years old) would be that much interested in reuniting with our family, afterall there isn't a single person alive who knows each other. My father and his siblings are curious about this but don't seem really interested in actually trying it. They said they would want to know the story of what happened to them but they wouldn't really want to meet up and talk to each other.
Thank you deeply Kyle this video has really touched me//to hear you see you to listen from your heart the passion you have for bringing and families together just the overall umbrella that you cover big volume. Thank you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo. God bless you.
Hi Kyle, I love your videos. Love when you reunite families. I love watching videos like yours. I used to watch David Nostas (Busca Personas Latino), but he died last year. He helped reunite hundreds or maybe even thousands of family. I think he too started on his own but with time his business grew. People started finding him and he also started to get sponsored. He became very well known in Latin America. In the end he had a team that helped him work (help him search for info or any documents), he had appearances on tv, had many more sponsors and he was able to fly family members to meet eachother. Whenever I see you reunite families, I really believe you can really be like a David Nostas too. Become big, earn your money, have stability & more, and help people. You totally have what it takes. I feel like you just need to meet the right people for this to happen but I totally 100% believe that you can. However, I don't know if this is something you want to continue to do. Maybe you have other dreams, that is ok too and you should follow them if that's the case. But just know that there are people outthere who believes in you and believes in your work and that you CAN do it, you CAN make it. Just believe in yourself too. Maybe try applying for bigger projects outside of RUclips that you thought was "outside of your reach". Throw yourself in the "depth", try new things, find out what you like and don't like and make new experiences. You can only learn and grow from whatever you do, nothing less. Wish you all the best
Not sure if you received the second post//comment but I was trying to say is this video really touched me just the overall passion enthusiasm and the love and joy you bring too many hearts and families and friends it’s just a beautiful thing the passion, you have the ability to creativityand everything that covers under this umbrella God bless you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo forever
Awe, what a heartwarming story! Thanks for doing what you do! I still remembered one of your first videos where your mom was calling you crazy for traveling to Africa to meet up with a Vietnamese guy or something like that hahaha. I love that you are still doing this and that your channel has grown so much! Cheers from Los Angeles
First time encounter your channel on recommendation. So your whole thing is helping people find their long lost family? This is so wholesome i actually crying a bit. God bless you!
Incredible! Goes to show you what a little drive and tenacity can get you. I know flying there was no small effort, but to think that after that the rest would just fall into place... a miracle! Lovely video, thanks for making this happen and sharing!
So good to see you again Kyle! All the best with anything you chose is best for you! Seeing real life stories through your lens always brings a smile! :)
Everything was timed, from the delay of the hospital visit to the timing of meeting the old lady. Being part of a well knitted community also has it's benefits. That was also key. My neighbor next to me don't even know my name and we've been neighbors for years.
Fortunately, the older generation has such a close relationship that they can remember each other clearly, which is probably the most valuable thing that makes finding someone more feasible. I am not sure that young people today, if asked about someone's identity, would be able to answer.
Bro this is Living. Like genuinely you are are beyond like wow. Brining lost family together i never thought about it but there’s not many deeds that you can do for people that is this beautiful and impactful
seeing my parents now be able to have visual contact on a daily basis with family back home in cambodia is such a blessing. technology has its flaws but it also has its perks. keeping families closer than ever
Very surprised (pleasantly) to see your new upload pop up as a recommendation. I've enjoyed your past videos. That video of the lost daughter reuniting with her mother on her deathbed wrecked me. Not sure if anything could top that. Keep up the good investigation work.
I love your earnest intent. I was in Vietnam in 1970-71 flying medivac helicopters. The scariest and most character building years of my life. Since then I have been back many times and love Vietnam. Keep up the great work.
Hey guys! Thanks for watching, please come back soon (hopefully next week) for the FULL reunion documentary. Please reach out if you'd like to see Vietnam with me / Would like a documentary produced by me about your own family. Please write me at KyleLe@usc.edu
Money definitely helps make videos and pays for expenses and logistics, but to make reunion content full time is hard... and requires a lot more than just money... stories, scheduling, etc etc. and vital information @@Draqoni333
This reminds me a lot of my dads village in Mexico. A lot of similarities with the town, houses, and landscape. So beautiful. Such a beautiful story. Great job my friend.
3 years ago, I met met my mom's dad for the first time. She hasn't seen him at all since her birth. Which made me happy. Seeing people reunite with "lost" family members, makes me soo happy to see. I've got to know my 2 uncles and grandpa's family "Mom's dad" Because of that, I knew that my interests came from him. No one else, my interest in electrician studies and motorcycles. I feel like that I am more like him than anyone else in the family, we spoke about his past and he gave me tips how to become a electrical company owner. I am now studying and hoping to be successful like him!
It's great that you're hustling, but all those gigs you mentioned aren't stable and indie/circuit filmmaking can even be a money sink on average. What about starting an agency to reunite families? Hire a few employees, and I can see you turning this into something lucrative (if there aren't tons of competing agencies like this already). You seem to be developing a nice reputation with folks seeking out your services, so you'd be skipping one of the hardest parts of starting up a new business. The family docs can naturally be part of the business. Lots of luck!
That's what autistic 4chan/redditors are for. Private investigators can find people like that but they have no resources that the avg person on the internet can use. Sometimes they can get credit card info but it's almost always illegal now so they don't do it for cheap at all.@@Insomniac_tv
Brother I never comment on no one’s channel but your definitely a inspiration don’t ever stop doing this types of video i know things could be hard and you can’t see the light but you just have to keep moving forward god is watching over you hope you make your dreams come true I know you will I’m not from Vietnam but I could see so much potential on your work keep working hard you got this
Brother, this is amazing. I commend you for all that you did for this family! Can't wait to see the reunion. I promise I won't cry, but I am scheduled to cut onions for a soup I'm making so....
What a beautifull thing you did , you can tell from the phone call they missed eachother so much even if it was so long and so sad she couldn't sleep and eat well and didn't alway's have the best time , and the reunion is gonna be sweet
Tbh, as a born Australian with Vietnamese ethnicity. Like any family who survived and escaped a civil war, that includes Nam. I will never go back because I can’t imagine myself being poor and happy like the rest of them.
Think of it this way. Lots of people in the West are lonely and feel they don't have any trust or connection with the people anymore. People are superficial and value materialistic nonsense over human connection and integrity, loyalty. Money cannot buy the latter. People move oun of communities they don't feel they belong in all the time. People take pay cuts to be closer to families and friends, or to have a better work life balance. People take on lower paying work to not deal with horrible management or co-workers. Those are factors as to why people can be happy on less.
2:50 - 3:50 in and you're already doing magic tricks, really unbelievable you just showed up and found them within a literal minute, absolutely impressive, thanks for sharing this.
You need to come to the UK there are a lot of people here from many countries who would love your work. The Diaspora's here would love you for this work. Also get some sponsors for you video's. If you get a short film editor for competitions for small films festivals you would win hands down with these stories. You are truly blessed. Thank you for the work you do.
Man this wholesome vid what what I needed today. Amazing stuff. Genuinely heartwarming. TY to you and all who allowed this quite amazing experience to be shared so that somehow I came across it. I'm about to watch the follow up now.
You look good with the nehru collar! I had the honor of taking my mom back to Vietnam after 30 years. We had a reunion there and her friends she hadn't seen in 50 years showed up.. It was bittersweet because when I asked her if she wanted to move back, that I would get her a place and set her up with for retirement. She said that America was now her home and I felt the memories of the war were too overwhelming for her.. Thanks mom!
Here's my latest video: Trying to uncover a 63-year-old mystery about someone's roots: ruclips.net/video/wZxMC8wojJY/видео.html

Why do you assume that I don’t? I don’t need to film it and put it onto the video every single time.
if he didnt went to the hospital, he might not see that granny that guided him at that specific time.

Thank you Kyle, was so amazing to hear this story in person when I met you in Da Nang too
dude your honesty just won my heart ....i am subscribing..
I really liked this video already. I just happened to watch your video by youtube algorithm. I hope I can reunite my father with his family like this as it’s been 24 years since he was last back there. Thanks for sharing this video! It was happy for me to see it.
Always enjoyed your videos Kyle! This one is extra heartwarming and bittersweet. ❤
What a beautiful story! God bless you Kyle for reuniting loved ones.
Bro, Respect! You are such a courageous and generous man.
I'm glad people like you exist. My grandma tried her whole life to find her uncle who moved to the US. She died 15 years ago at age 90 still talking about how sad she was that she never found him, so I can kinda understand the desperation of people who are looking for their family.
Only now I would have the technology, the knowledge and the money to be able to find her uncle but he was much older than her so he most likely died a long time ago and I kinda doubt that his kids (who should now be over 80 years old) would be that much interested in reuniting with our family, afterall there isn't a single person alive who knows each other. My father and his siblings are curious about this but don't seem really interested in actually trying it. They said they would want to know the story of what happened to them but they wouldn't really want to meet up and talk to each other.
You are a great guy Kyle. Good luck to you on this journey. You are the only RUclipsr I respect who made all the most heartwarming, touching videos.
Kyle is awesome. Thank you for coming back.
Thank you deeply Kyle this video has really touched me//to hear you see you to listen from your heart the passion you have for bringing and families together just the overall umbrella that you cover big volume. Thank you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo. God bless you.
Hi Kyle, I love your videos. Love when you reunite families. I love watching videos like yours. I used to watch David Nostas (Busca Personas Latino), but he died last year. He helped reunite hundreds or maybe even thousands of family. I think he too started on his own but with time his business grew. People started finding him and he also started to get sponsored. He became very well known in Latin America. In the end he had a team that helped him work (help him search for info or any documents), he had appearances on tv, had many more sponsors and he was able to fly family members to meet eachother.
Whenever I see you reunite families, I really believe you can really be like a David Nostas too. Become big, earn your money, have stability & more, and help people. You totally have what it takes. I feel like you just need to meet the right people for this to happen but I totally 100% believe that you can.
However, I don't know if this is something you want to continue to do. Maybe you have other dreams, that is ok too and you should follow them if that's the case.
But just know that there are people outthere who believes in you and believes in your work and that you CAN do it, you CAN make it. Just believe in yourself too. Maybe try applying for bigger projects outside of RUclips that you thought was "outside of your reach". Throw yourself in the "depth", try new things, find out what you like and don't like and make new experiences. You can only learn and grow from whatever you do, nothing less.
Wish you all the best
Not sure if you received the second post//comment but I was trying to say is this video really touched me just the overall passion enthusiasm and the love and joy you bring too many hearts and families and friends it’s just a beautiful thing the passion, you have the ability to creativityand everything that covers under this umbrella God bless you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo forever
Awe, what a heartwarming story! Thanks for doing what you do! I still remembered one of your first videos where your mom was calling you crazy for traveling to Africa to meet up with a Vietnamese guy or something like that hahaha. I love that you are still doing this and that your channel has grown so much! Cheers from Los Angeles
Bro, we always miss you. The best part of my day is when I come home and you've posted a new video!
First time encounter your channel on recommendation. So your whole thing is helping people find their long lost family? This is so wholesome i actually crying a bit. God bless you!
So awesome Kyle I’m glad to see another video uploaded many blessings congratulations much respect to you your friend Leah
Incredible! Goes to show you what a little drive and tenacity can get you. I know flying there was no small effort, but to think that after that the rest would just fall into place... a miracle! Lovely video, thanks for making this happen and sharing!
Had a smile from ear to ear so happy you did this amazing!
Blessing to you and your family
i'm over here crying like a baby! it's a really good thing you did! wishing every one the best. 💕
So good to see you again Kyle! All the best with anything you chose is best for you! Seeing real life stories through your lens always brings a smile! :)
Everything was timed, from the delay of the hospital visit to the timing of meeting the old lady. Being part of a well knitted community also has it's benefits. That was also key. My neighbor next to me don't even know my name and we've been neighbors for years.
Fortunately, the older generation has such a close relationship that they can remember each other clearly, which is probably the most valuable thing that makes finding someone more feasible. I am not sure that young people today, if asked about someone's identity, would be able to answer.
Yes it's true We meet and talk face to face
We visit our relatives (father and mother sides) in their homes
Bro this is Living. Like genuinely you are are beyond like wow. Brining lost family together i never thought about it but there’s not many deeds that you can do for people that is this beautiful and impactful
Kyle, I love your work. I always end up crying for the reunions you do.. Bless you!
seeing my parents now be able to have visual contact on a daily basis with family back home in cambodia is such a blessing. technology has its flaws but it also has its perks. keeping families closer than ever
love your vietnam vlogs, hopefully more vietnam content coming soon. ive watched all of them already.
Kyle you never disappoint. Thank you for another gem.
kyle, you out did yourself with this one. loved it. soo happy for them
We need to get you more subscribers. We gotta get you up to at least a million. Everyone spread the word.
new here but this has to be the most wholesome guy out here what a genuinely good hearted thing to do for a family.
Welcome back Kyle. So glad & so very happy to see your video ❤❤❤
Very surprised (pleasantly) to see your new upload pop up as a recommendation. I've enjoyed your past videos. That video of the lost daughter reuniting with her mother on her deathbed wrecked me. Not sure if anything could top that. Keep up the good investigation work.
3:02 big shout out to this lady ❤❤❤❤
I love your earnest intent. I was in Vietnam in 1970-71 flying medivac helicopters. The scariest and most character building years of my life. Since then I have been back many times and love Vietnam. Keep up the great work.
Hey guys! Thanks for watching, please come back soon (hopefully next week) for the FULL reunion documentary. Please reach out if you'd like to see Vietnam with me / Would like a documentary produced by me about your own family. Please write me at KyleLe@usc.edu
Hello Kyle I like your job ! Thank you :)
Go Trojans!
Welcome back, Kyle. Hope u have been well. Appreciate your videos. 😀
Have you considered Patreon? If you wanted to make videos fulltime then maybe that's a route to go?
Money definitely helps make videos and pays for expenses and logistics, but to make reunion content full time is hard... and requires a lot more than just money... stories, scheduling, etc etc. and vital information @@Draqoni333
This reminds me a lot of my dads village in Mexico. A lot of similarities with the town, houses, and landscape. So beautiful. Such a beautiful story. Great job my friend.
A1 job brother!! This is your calling. To reunite families from overseas. Keep doing yo thang! Amen!
3 years ago, I met met my mom's dad for the first time. She hasn't seen him at all since her birth. Which made me happy. Seeing people reunite with "lost" family members, makes me soo happy to see. I've got to know my 2 uncles and grandpa's family "Mom's dad" Because of that, I knew that my interests came from him. No one else, my interest in electrician studies and motorcycles. I feel like that I am more like him than anyone else in the family, we spoke about his past and he gave me tips how to become a electrical company owner. I am now studying and hoping to be successful like him!
Yes we missed you Kyle - amazing video!
What you do between finding lost contacts and family documentaries is a blessing! And it really seems to be your passion and expertise.
Yes thank you, I do enjoy reuniting families and making documentaries very much.
It's great that you're hustling, but all those gigs you mentioned aren't stable and indie/circuit filmmaking can even be a money sink on average. What about starting an agency to reunite families? Hire a few employees, and I can see you turning this into something lucrative (if there aren't tons of competing agencies like this already). You seem to be developing a nice reputation with folks seeking out your services, so you'd be skipping one of the hardest parts of starting up a new business. The family docs can naturally be part of the business. Lots of luck!
That’s what private detectives agencies are for
That's what autistic 4chan/redditors are for. Private investigators can find people like that but they have no resources that the avg person on the internet can use. Sometimes they can get credit card info but it's almost always illegal now so they don't do it for cheap at all.@@Insomniac_tv
Give me a name and a birthday and I'll tell you where they are in the states.
Fantastic, I love these videos. Also love the immediate banter, do you remember me ? Yes I carried your stuff out of the pig pen. 😂
Finally. I missed you Kyle. ❤❤
Brother I never comment on no one’s channel but your definitely a inspiration don’t ever stop doing this types of video i know things could be hard and you can’t see the light but you just have to keep moving forward god is watching over you hope you make your dreams come true I know you will I’m not from Vietnam but I could see so much potential on your work keep working hard you got this
Brother, this is amazing. I commend you for all that you did for this family! Can't wait to see the reunion. I promise I won't cry, but I am scheduled to cut onions for a soup I'm making so....
What a beautifull thing you did , you can tell from the phone call they missed eachother so much even if it was so long and so sad she couldn't sleep and eat well and didn't alway's have the best time , and the reunion is gonna be sweet
Tbh, as a born Australian with Vietnamese ethnicity. Like any family who survived and escaped a civil war, that includes Nam. I will never go back because I can’t imagine myself being poor and happy like the rest of them.
So you imagine yourself being wealthy and unhappy? I'm sorry I didn't get it.
@@eduantech those were your words, not mine and clearly you know how to read
Think of it this way. Lots of people in the West are lonely and feel they don't have any trust or connection with the people anymore. People are superficial and value materialistic nonsense over human connection and integrity, loyalty. Money cannot buy the latter. People move oun of communities they don't feel they belong in all the time.
People take pay cuts to be closer to families and friends, or to have a better work life balance. People take on lower paying work to not deal with horrible management or co-workers.
Those are factors as to why people can be happy on less.
I like your passion, finding lost families are really the best thing, you are really god send from above. I’m new here but I hope the best for you.
best viet content
2:50 - 3:50 in and you're already doing magic tricks, really unbelievable you just showed up and found them within a literal minute, absolutely impressive, thanks for sharing this.
Omg since you’re going to Australia maybe you can link up with Chonnyday 🤭
This needs more views immediately... You did something beautiful.
The follow up to this video is online now! Sorry it took me so long to edit... but you'll see why: ruclips.net/video/90bYDWhzLZo/видео.html
You are AMAZING!!! ❤
You need to come to the UK there are a lot of people here from many countries who would love your work. The Diaspora's here would love you for this work. Also get some sponsors for you video's. If you get a short film editor for competitions for small films festivals you would win hands down with these stories. You are truly blessed. Thank you for the work you do.
What a great story and you did a great job editing!
You need some kind of steady passive income so you can pursue other interests and passions.
Man this wholesome vid what what I needed today. Amazing stuff. Genuinely heartwarming. TY to you and all who allowed this quite amazing experience to be shared so that somehow I came across it. I'm about to watch the follow up now.
Not all heros wear capes. Thank you for your service
You look good with the nehru collar! I had the honor of taking my mom back to Vietnam after 30 years. We had a reunion there and her friends she hadn't seen in 50 years showed up.. It was bittersweet because when I asked her if she wanted to move back, that I would get her a place and set her up with for retirement. She said that America was now her home and I felt the memories of the war were too overwhelming for her.. Thanks mom!
Didn’t think she wanted to be found. They never left lol
that's so humble and noble. very touching. congratulations!
